Compass (2012)

Haifa Museum of Art

The first in a group of series dealing with painting and photography, focusing on scanning the painting and printing it as a photograph, maintaining a quality that reserves the nature of the painting. The series Compass, which was presented in the Haifa Museum, exhibits four imaged on four walls, which were specially built for the presentation in the museum space, located according to the four winds. The images depict the artist's subjective interpretation of the four winds (North - melting glacier, South - polluted water flood on a staircase in south Tel Aviv, East - crop hole in Kapadokya, West - the beam of light in the Pantheon in Rome turns to the shape of a mouth) generate visual trickery as they appear like painting, as opposed to hyperrealist painting that appears like photography.
